The NRP Group Breaks Ground on 336-Unit Multifamily in Ohio

The NRP Group announced the groundbreaking of OSU East, a 336-unit housing community in Columbus, Ohio.

OSU East marks The NRP Group’s first market-rate community in Columbus. The project is situated on a 27.5-acre site on West Dublin Granville Road that will include an additional 138 for-sale townhomes developed by M/I Homes of Central Ohio LLC.

“This project represents an exciting milestone for our team and is the first of many opportunities we hope to pursue in Columbus,” said Mike Zelenkofske, Executive Vice President of Development at The NRP Group. OSU East consists of 11 three-story residential buildings with a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes.

Located near Ohio State University Airport and situated within the Worthington School District, OSU East offers residents proximity to Dublin. The development’s financing is provided by PNC Bank, and the City of Columbus served as a key partner throughout the entitlement and development process.
